Just like most of our home appliances, refrigerators are also getting smarter. Keeping up with the trends, manufacturers are now adding AI or Artificial Intelligence to refrigerators which enables them to adjust their cooling according to consumers’ specific needs. AI smarts coupled with features like internet connectivity, touchscreen displays, and voice control, enable a more convenient user experience.
What additional features do I get with AI Refrigerators?
AI refrigerators feature digital inverter compressors, allowing them to adjust their cooling capacity in a more customised manner. Rather than simply switching to a predetermined cooling mode, these refrigerators analyse factors such as temperature, humidity levels, and frequency of door openings to adjust cooling accordingly.
Smart AI fridges offer several exciting advantages. They enable users to remotely monitor food items, recommend recipes based on refrigerator content, and push alerts about food freshness. Having said that, we are still in the nascent stages of AI integration and we expect a lot more innovative AI features to come to refrigerators in the time to come.
